Marbas, Fallen Deamon Prince Of The First Legion

I remembered this and made a start rather than painting 3 more Satanine Terminators. 

 

It started with a raketh flash base coat all over, then a reikland flesh wash on the skin bits and a black templar contrast coat on the bits that can be said to be armour.

I've got no drive to finish this, plan A is to keep it on hold for when I get to the black and green highlights on something else so I'm not wasting paint wet blending, even with the wet palette. 

I'm still off work today, tomorrow with a team meeting I have to go to and Tuesday, I'm thinking of building some of the chaos stuff for next years army as that box is very full and I just added the Heresy era Predator to that army. 

Bolter Armed Satanine Terminator

I've bagged the bits to send to my to build his Legion of The Damned version. 

They were a couple of places that the build could have been better.

To try and keep the colours as close as possible it had a base layer of ushabati bone after the nuln oil wash before the screaming skull, and a lot of the trim was given a base of iron warrior and a nuln oil wash, as I didn't want it to be too bright.

More Little Steps

 I had a dig through the bits for spares for this build, 2 hands and a head as well as finding the bits to send to my mate who's building the Legion Of Doom, not sure if I put a head in there now.

Ushabati bone base coat and nuln oil wash done. 

The next step will be screaming skull and to tie it in with the original Saturnine Terminator I did years ago, the trim will be mostly metallic. 

Question is do I make a ranged version of the relic armour squad...

The Backup

 

I got the Satanine with Lightning Claws finished!

Saturday when I got home I gave it the nuln oil wash, and when that was dry and go over with screaming skull. I even got a base of evil sunz scarlet on the aquila, last thing I did before bedtime was give that a nuln oil wash as well.

In the morning I gave the aquila a highlight with evil sunz scarlet. 

I did the plasma generator in the blues that I use. 

Last thing I did was the metallics. Which all went nicely on the mini. 

I brought the Terminators box down to get the rest of the squad out to get a photo of, and honestly it's bad how much bigger this guy is.

So just the next gen Cattaphrattii and a new lightning claws Terminator for this squad. 7

Like I Said, Small Steps

 Lessons learned, only fix those epic shoulder pads after painting.

Got home from work early on Wednesday as I'd juggled my shift around, and was able and had the energy to get some paint on the lightning claws Satanine.

It had the usual ushabati bone base coat. 

I had intended to do a nuln oil wash last night but my whole day yesterday had gone a lot Pete Tong and when I got in I was not in a mood to do anything other than feed the cat and go to bed.

Plan A is nuln oil wash on Saturday followed by a couple of beers, Sunday screaming skull, metallic trim and hopefully evil sun scarlet details, cook a Rogan Josh curry and go to work to do the sleep. Like I said every fraking day till a week Saturday. 

Sunday, Build Day

 Today I have mostly been building the 6 Line Satanine Terminators that come in the Satanine box.

Hazarding a guess here but I really think they've just scaled down the dreadnought which is why the legs are such a faff. 

Plan A for one is to give it lightning claws and put it with the other prototype terminators in the close assault squad, because its not like that squad is ever going near the table top. 

The 5 left I've given dual weapon load outs. 

I'm seriously thinking of giving my mate that's doing a seriously cool Legion Of The Damned army a couple to play with to see how they'd come out. 

And last of all, although I did these first, Björn the Betrayer and Karen, although I might swap her holster and check the sisters of battle spures for a pistol that might fit.

Basically I'm aiming to get the Satanine painted bone to join the prototype squad and I need to find photos of the squad so I can see the detail colour. 

Björn the Betrayer and Kharen are put aside for next year now, with Kharen probably leading the Jackle squad. 

All the chaos stuff that's arrived is in the box. I think I'm going to have to build some kits so they will take up less space in the box, because I've got a second combat patrol going in there, and it's already full.

 

Lord Flash Hart

 I've had this one knocking around for a while now, and with time off low this month I'm looking for little wins.

This guy needs no introduction, where's he been? Where hasn't he been? 

It's a nice little mini. 

I got the screaming skull base coat done on Tuesday morning, after doing the building on Monday night. 

The doublet was given a nuln oil wash, then wraith bone once that was dry, the cuffs and ruff had a touch of palid wytch flesh and highlights on the sleeve, tummy, and chest. I think that came out rather well. 

The bloomers, tights and whatever it's called on the shoulder had a corvus black base and nuln oil wash. Highlights were a corvus black and eshin grey mix, getting lighter with celestine grey mixed in at the end.

I added a touch of blood for the blood god to the broach. 

The hair was yriel yellow with reikland flesh wash, and then yriel yellow as a highlight.
